I built a score editor for the billion choir singers who don't read staff notation

Hey hunters 👋

I'm Hubert, the maker of DoMiSol. Quick story before I ask for feedback.

Most score editors (MuseScore, Finale, Sibelius, Dorico) start from one assumption: that the people using them read 5-line staff notation. But a huge chunk of the world's choirs, church choirs in Africa, school programs across Asia, community choirs in Indonesia where I'm from, don't. They read tonic solfa (d r m f s l t) or jianpu (1 2 3 4 5 6 7). Always have.

So choir directors end up doing one of three painful things:

1. Writing scores by hand on lined paper

2. Hacking Word/Google Docs into a fake score

3. Writing in staff notation and then manually transcribing for their singers

DoMiSol is my attempt to give that audience a real tool. You write the score once, and the same data renders as solfa or jianpu, same model, two visual systems. SATB out of the box, lyrics that align under syllables, instant audio playback, share-via-URL, and print-perfect PDF. Free, in the browser, no install.

A few things I'd genuinely love honest feedback on:

• Does the landing page make the dual-notation idea click within ~10 seconds, or is it confusing?

• For the choir directors / music teachers here: what's the one thing in your current workflow that would make you stop and switch?

• The roadmap has features like auto-harmonize to SATB, and smart transposition, counter melody and chords

  

  .

  Which of those would actually move the needle for you?
